Take Me Out to the Ball Game (9-Mar-1949)
Director: Busby Berkeley Writers: Harry Tugend; George Wells; Gene Kelly; Stanley Donen Music and Lyrics by: Betty Comden; Adolph Green; Roger Edens Producer: Arthur Freed Keywords: Musical Comedy, Baseball Ed O'Brien and Dennis Ryan, the star infielders for turn-of-the-century baseball team The Wolves, perform vaudeville off-season; their lives are disrupted when K. C. Higgins inherits control of the team, and to their dismay she is very interested in actively managing the team. The Higgins role was first intended for Kathryn Grayson, but then given to Judy Garland; when Garland was suffering from depression and alcohol, swimmer Esther Williams was chosen. Second of three Kelly/Sinatra pairings, making good albeit formulaic lightweight fare.
